Episode 21: Why We’re Not Setting New Year’s Resolutions

It’s the first episode of the New Year… and no, we’re not coming in hot with vision boards, pressure-filled resolutions, or a “new year, new you” checklist. In this episode, we talk about why we stepped away from traditional New Year goal-setting — and what we’re focusing on instead so we can keep growing without feeling behind, overwhelmed, or like we’ve already failed two weeks in. In this episode, we cover: Why “New Year’s resolutions” don’t work for a lot of people (and what to do instead) How to set process-based goals that actually support your life (not just an outcome) The “Monday start” mindset… and why 2026 feels like a Tuesday (lol) Why January–March can feel mentally harder (and the vitamin D + winter slump convo) Listening to your body more: rest, sleep, hydration, and flexibility Getting back to basics with food, movement, and habits (without overcomplicating it) Why healthy eating doesn’t need fancy recipes — it needs staples + simplicity Using tools like ChatGPT in a way that makes life easier (recipes, meal ideas, saving templates) If you’ve ever felt boxed in by resolutions, like you should be doing more just because the calendar changed — this episode is for you.
